Music reviews of Numbers / Izitso / Back to Earth
Music Review: Audiophile sound quality?
Rating: 4 Stars
First of all I have to say I'm very happy with this set as it includes the last three Cat Stevens albums which are not available anywhere else. However, this "Original Master Recording" is sure not perfect in sound. Listen for example to the first song "Whistlestar" at the very beginning, and you can here some "hiss" sound. Hard to explain, but there's never "total silence" between tracks. Sometimes before a track starts, you hear the first seconds of the next track (VERY silently) before that track starts. The tapes seem to have copied through over the decades! Obviously the original analog masters tapes have "worn out", or this recording wasn't made from the "original masters" at all? I guess ULTRADISC should have taken a bit more care when producing this set. The other "normal" Cat Stevens CDs from my collection don't suffer this quality problem. Don't get me wrong - the sound quality is still fine, but I have expected much more qualitywise (I have other ULTRADISCs, f.e. Pink Floyd, which were much better than the normal releases) given the high standard that company normally offers. Certainly - taken the sound quality - it's not worth paying almost twice as much as for the other Cat Stevens CDs available. Anybody who would like to share his opinion with me, please send me an e-mail: tritico@gmx.net
